Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and device for operating an internal combustion engine.
  • Tank purging devices by means of which fuel evaporation emissions from a tank in a vehicle, in which the internal combustion engine can be disposed, are buffered in an active carbon holder.
  • a tank purging valve is used at regular intervals to regenerate the active carbon filter.
  • the tank purging valve thereby releases a connection to the intake duct of the internal combustion engine.
  • the fuel bound in the active carbon holder can thus flow into the intake duct of the internal combustion engine and be combusted in the respective cylinder of the internal combustion engine.
  • it is essential that such additionally incorporated fuel is also taken into accurate account.
  • the object of the invention is to create a method and device, which allow precise operation of an internal combustion engine.
  • the invention is characterized by a method and a corresponding device for operating an internal combustion engine with an intake duct, which opens into at least one inlet of at least one cylinder.
  • the internal combustion engine is also assigned a tank purging valve, which is configured to control the initiation of a tank purging flow into the intake duct at an inlet point upstream of the respective inlet of the respective cylinder.
  • a main path is configured in the intake duct.
  • a recirculation path is also configured in the intake duct, with a recirculation control element, a recirculation inlet from the main path into the recirculation path and a recirculation outlet from the recirculation path into the main path.
  • the recirculation outlet is disposed in the main path upstream in relation to the recirculation inlet.
  • the recirculation path is disposed such that fluid from the recirculation inlet flows toward the recirculation outlet as a function of an opening angle of the recirculation control element during operation of the internal combustion engine.
  • the recirculation path is preferably configured for example as a bypass to a compressor.
  • a cylinder tank purging fuel mass is determined, which flows into a cylinder during the working cycle of the respective cylinder of relevance to a previous measuring in of fuel.
  • the cylinder tank purging fuel mass is determined as a function of an opening angle of the tank purging valve and an opening angle of the recirculation control element. This makes use of the knowledge that the changing opening angle of the recirculation control element has a not insignificant effect on the cylinder tank purging fuel mass and therefore by taking into account the opening angle of the recirculation control element it is possible to determine the cylinder tank purging fuel mass very precisely. It is thus possible to prevent unwanted hydrocarbon emissions.
  • a dynamic physical model of the recirculation path is used to determine the cylinder tank purging fuel mass. It is thus possible to determine the cylinder tank purging fuel mass particularly precisely even very close in time to changes in the opening angle of the recirculation control element.
  • the dynamic physical model of the recirculation path comprises a recirculation ring store for recirculation tank purging values of a characteristic quantity, which is representative of a tank purging fuel mass, which flows into the recirculation ring store on the inlet side in each instance during a predetermined time period.
  • the recirculation tank purging values are determined for storage in the recirculation ring store as a function of at least the opening angle of the recirculation control element and as a function of an output main path tank purging value, which is representative of a tank purging fuel mass, which flows toward the recirculation inlet in the main path in each instance during the predetermined time period.
  • a recirculation tank purging value flowing through the recirculation outlet is determined as a function of the opening angle of the recirculation control element from the recirculation ring store. It is thus possible to take a dead time of the recirculation path into account in a very simple and yet precise manner.

  • the tank purging valve in the closed position there is no tank purging flow into the intake duct 1 .
  • the inlet point 12 can open into the intake duct at any point, where there is suitable pressure during operation of the internal combustion engine to ensure that the tank purging flow flows away into the intake duct and which is disposed upstream of the outlet 16 in the main flow direction in the main path.
  • a region close by and downstream of an air filter for example is possible for this purpose.
  • a control device 36 is also provided, to which sensors are assigned, which capture different measured variables and determine the value of the measured variable in each instance. Operating variables capture the measured variables and variables derived therefrom.
  • the control device 36 determines manipulated variables as a function of at least one of the operating variables, said manipulated variables then being converted to one or more actuating signals to control the control elements by means of corresponding actuating drives.

  • a main path ring store BUF_ 1 is provided.
  • the program is started in a step S 1 .
  • Variables are initialized in a step S 2 .
  • a first write pointer IDX_WR_TEV, a second write pointer IDX_WR_BP and the storage range of the main path ring store BUF_ 1 are initialized, preferably with zero values.
  • an input main path tank purging value C_HC_TEV is determined, of a characteristic quantity that is representative of a tank purging fuel mass, which flows from the tank purging valve 11 into the main path 9 in each instance during the predetermined time period.
  • the characteristic quantity is preferably a fuel concentration in relation to the air mass flowing in during the time period, which also incorporates the fuel. This can preferably be determined using a corresponding physical model of the tank purging system. To this end a concentration of fuel vapors in the tank for example can be determined as an estimated value and the input main path tank purging value C_HC_TEV can then be determined as a function of the opening angle of the tank purging valve 11 .
  • the air mass flowing in by way of the throttle valve 5 is then also taken into account.
  • the characteristic quantity can also be the absolute tank purging fuel mass directly.
  • step S 3 the input main path tank purging value C_HC_TEV is then also buffered at the storage point of the main path ring store BUF_ 1 , to which the first write pointer IDX_WR_TEV points.
  • a step S 4 the value of the first write pointer IDX_WR_TEV minus a function value is assigned to a first read pointer IDX_RD_ 1 , said function value being determined by means of a first function f 1 as a function of the air mass flow MAF into the intake duct 1 and the intake pipe pressure MAP.
  • the first function can for example also comprise one or more characteristic maps and is preferably determined beforehand by experimentation or simulation, such that a suitable value is assigned to the first read pointer IDX_RD_ 1 by means of the formula in step S 4 , to read an output main path tank purging value C_HC_ 1 _OUT of the characteristic quantity from the main path ring store BUF_ 1 , which is representative of the tank purging fuel mass, which flows in the main path upstream of the recirculation inlet 15 and in the region of the recirculation inlet 15 of the branch point in each instance during the predetermined time period.
  • step S 4 the output main path tank purging value C_HC_ 1 _OUT is determined from the main path ring store BUF_ 1 as a function of the position of the first read pointer IDX_RD_ 1 .
  • a step S 6 the value of the first write pointer IDX_WR_TEV minus a value, which is determined by means of a second function f 2 as a function of the air mass flow MAF into the intake duct 1 and the intake pipe pressure MAP, is assigned to the second write pointer IDX_WR_BP.
  • the second function f 2 is determined correspondingly by experimentation on an engine test bed or by simulation, such that it models a gas runtime from the tank purging valve 11 to the recirculation outlet 16 in the main path 9 .
  • step S 6 a recirculation tank purging value C_HC_BP_OUT flowing through the recirculation outlet 16 during the predetermined time period is then added to the storage point predetermined in the main path ring store by the position of the second write pointer IDX_WR_BP, having been determined by means of the program according to FIG. 4 .
  • a cylinder tank purging value C_HC_CYL is determined for a characteristic quantity, which is representative of a tank purging fuel mass, which flows into the respective cylinder or into the respective combustion chamber of the respective cylinder Z 1 to Z 4 in each instance during the predetermined time period. This is done by forming the difference between the output main path tank purging value C_HC_ 1 _OUT and a recirculation tank purging value C_HC_BP_IN of a characteristic quantity, which is representative of a tank purging fuel mass, which flows into the recirculation path 14 on the inlet side in each instance during the predetermined time period.
  • the recirculation tank purging value C_HC_BP_IN is [lacuna] by means of a third function f 3 , as a function of the output main path tank purging value C_HC_ 1 _OUT, the air mass flow MAF, the intake pipe pressure MAP and the opening angle BDK of the recirculation control element 18 .
  • the third function f 3 is determined correspondingly by means of experimentation on an engine test bed or by simulation.
  • step S 10 the first write pointer IDX_WR_TEV is incremented, preferably by the value one.
  • processing continues, in some instances after a predetermined waiting period.
  • the waiting period is in particular predetermined such that steps S 3 to S 10 are carried out once for each predetermined time period, with the capture times of the respective measured variables being of relevance to this consideration.
  • a program according to FIG. 3 is started in a step S 12 at a time close to a time when the engine starts.
  • the cylinder tank purging fuel mass MFF_CP is determined as a function of the cylinder tank purging value C_HC_CYL and the air mass flow MAF_CYL into the combustion chamber of the respective cylinder Z 1 to Z 4 .
  • Such a determination is preferably carried out when the characteristic quantity is a tank purging fuel mass concentration.
  • the air mass flow MAF_CYL can for example be determined by means of an intake pipe model known for such purpose to the person skilled in the art as a function of operating variables of the internal combustion engine.
  • the cylinder tank purging value C_HC_CYL can be determined directly in step S 8 .
  • a further ring store can be provided with corresponding write and read pointers, by means of which, if the recirculation inlet 15 is not in direct proximity to the inlet into the engine block 2 of the cylinder Z 1 to Z 4 , the gas runtime in the other components of the intake duct 1 can be modeled according to the procedure in FIG. 2 .
  • Such components can for example be the manifold 7 or even a charging air cooler depending on the arrangement.
  • a fuel mass MFF to be measured in is corrected appropriately as a function of the currently relevant cylinder tank purging fuel mass MFF_CPR, thereby determining a corrected fuel mass MFF_COR to be measured in.
  • Such correction can for example take place as the predetermination of a predetermined air/fuel ratio in the combustion chamber before combustion of the mixture.
  • the cylinder segment duration is the time period required for a working cycle, divided by the number of cylinders Z 1 to Z 4 in the internal combustion engine. In the case of a four-stroke internal combustion engine with four cylinders for example, the cylinder segment duration therefore results from the inverse of half the rotation speed divided by the number of cylinders in the internal combustion engine.
  • step S 18 the corresponding actuating signal SG_INJ to activate the respective injection valve 34 of the respective cylinder Z 1 to Z 4 is determined as a function of the corrected fuel mass MFF_COR to be measured in.
  • the respective injection valve 34 is then activated according to the actuating signal SG_INJ. Processing then continues again in step S 14 , in some instances after a predeterminable waiting period or a predeterminable waiting crankshaft angle.
  • a program by means of which the dynamic physical model of the recirculation path 14 is obtained, is started in a step S 20 (see FIG. 4 ).
  • variables can be initialized, thus a third write pointer IDX_WR_ 3 and a recirculation ring store BUF_ 2 are initialized.
  • the recirculation ring store BUF_ 2 has storage locations for storing the recirculation tank purging values C_HC_BP_IN, which are then read from the recirculation ring store BUF_ 2 again as recirculation tank purging values C_HC_BP_OUT flowing through the recirculation outlet.
  • a step S 24 the recirculation tank purging value C_HC_BP_IN is determined for the characteristic quantity, which is representative of the tank purging fuel mass, which flows into the recirculation path on the inlet side in each instance during the predetermined time period.
  • the recirculation tank purging value C_HC_BP_IN is preferably determined by means of a third function f 3 , as a function of the output main path tank purging value C_HC_ 1 _OUT, the air mass flow MAF, the intake pipe pressure MAP and the opening angle BDK of the recirculation control element 18 .
  • the third function is determined in a correspondingly appropriate manner beforehand by means of corresponding experimentation on an engine test bed or even by simulation and is stored like the other functions f 1 to f 4 in a data store of the control device 36 .
  • a step S 26 it is checked whether the opening angle BDK of the recirculation control element 18 is greater than zero, in other words the recirculation control element 18 is outside its closed position and therefore fluid can flow through the recirculation path from the recirculation inlet 15 to the recirculation outlet 16 and from there into the main path 9 . If the condition in step S 26 is not satisfied, processing resumes in step S 24 , in some instances after a predeterminable waiting period.
  • step S 28 the value of the third write pointer IDX_WR_ 3 minus a value, which is determined by means of a fourth function f 4 as a function of the air mass flow MAF, the intake pipe pressure MAP and the opening angle BDK of the recirculation control element 18 , is assigned to a second read pointer IDX_RD_ 2 .
  • the fourth function is similarly determined in an appropriate manner by experimentation on an engine test bed or by simulation, such that the second read pointer IDX_RD_ 2 points in each instance to a storage location of the recirculation ring store BUF_ 2 , the storage content of which is currently representative in each instance of the tank purging fuel mass flowing through the recirculation outlet.
  • step S 28 the content of the recirculation ring store BUF_ 2 at the position, to which the second read pointer IDX_RD_ 2 points, is then assigned to the recirculation tank purging value C_HC_BP_OUT flowing through the recirculation outlet.
  • the recirculation tank purging value C_HC_BP_OUT determined in step S 24 is stored in the recirculation ring store BUF_ 2 , at a position predetermined by the third write pointer IDX_WR_ 3 .
  • step S 30 the third write pointer IDX_WR_ 3 is incremented, preferably by the value one.
  • processing resumes in a step S 24 , preferably such that steps S 24 to S 30 are processed respectively once for each predetermined time period, particularly in respect of the capturing of associated measured values.
  • the first function f 1 can alternatively also be a function of the air mass flow MAF into the intake duct 1 and the further intake pipe pressure. The same also applies to the second function f 2 .
  • the third function f 3 can alternatively also be a function of the air mass flow MAF_CYL into the respective combustion chamber instead of the air mass flow MAF.
  • the third function f 3 can alternatively also be a function of the further intake pipe pressure instead of the intake pipe pressure MAP.
  • a combination of the operating variables mentioned is also possible for the third and fourth functions.
